I've seen some crazy things in my life. I regularly travel on planes for work, but this has got to be probably one of the most ridiculous things that I have experienced. A certain Filipina actress, past her prime may I add, decided to use our reserved seats on the plane. After being asked to move by flight attendants, the captain and even ground security she agreed to go to her seat (after 30mins of pagmumura). Kept claiming she was some sikat na star dati with initials M.M. She smelled like a beer brewery, you just knew something was gonna happen.... Anyway, half way to our destination to talk to our programmer in Mindanao, this "actress" decided to say inappropriate things continually at my friend. She was given 2 warning cards by flight attendants, but didn't stop. She hit my friend and the flight attendants and had to be restrained. The captain announced: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I apologise, but we have to go back to Manila due to one unruly passenger" This video is of the initial offloading of this lovely character... Please note 20 ground staff were used just to offload one person. Fines include 500,000pesos and 3 years imprisonment #WelcomeToTheGoodLife
